Bohemian Green Glass Decanter with Mozaffar al-Din Shah Portrait

About the Item

This wonderful lime green glass decanter was crafted in Bohemia, a historic region which now forms part of the Czech Republic, in the late 19th century. The piece was created for the Persian (modern-day Iranian) market. The decanter features an ovoid body with a cylindrical, knopped neck and flared mouth. This is covered by a stopper with a panelled base, a knopped centre and a conical tip. The decanter is crafted from green colored glass and is finely decorated with swirling gilt patterns, jewel-like gilt raised beads, and colorful enameled flowers. Its body features, on its centre front, a detailed bust portrait of Mozaffar al-Din Shah, the Qajar king of Persia from 1896-1907. This portrait is set within an oval gilt frame which is encircled by gilt beads.
